like a diamond in the sky.
I have been looking people in the eyes a lot more lately – I don’t know how I used to communicate with people, it just seems as though I am noticing eye contact a lot more. I am aware of the cliché involved with eyes, but it is true, the eyes are the most attractive feature of the human body.
As I am about to embark on the biggest adventure of my lifetime, I notice the various hang-ups and inhibitions people have just by observing a downward glance here or a look away there, in contrast, I also view people who ooze vibrancies and excitement just from a twinkle in the eye.
These are the people I want to surround myself with in my life. The eyes are the gateways to the soul, and I want to be amongst those who aren’t afraid to look directly into mine. Whilst I prepare for my journey, I have felt a twinkle in my own eye, with the accompanied mischievous grin. I have never felt so confident yet anxious in my entire life, I don’t know what challenges lay out there for me, alas; know that I will meet them head on.
In just over a month I will be in a completely foreign environment, enjoying new sights, sounds and smells that I have never experienced before – the detriment to this is the fact I am bored with anticipation, nothing excites me anymore and I am willing to take that extra step because of it.
A couple of weeks ago I jumped onto the back of a petrol tanker and rode two suburbs until the driver was told he had some passengers, something I wouldn’t normally do unless I was craving the sense of adventure that courses through my veins as I type this. It’s a massive world out there, and I want to see it through my eyes, then hopefully I can share what I have learnt when you look into the twinkle of mine.
